Summary:
"OPEN SCIENCE AND THE CHEMISTRY LAB OF THE FUTURE
BEILSTEIN SYMPOSIUM 2017
22 – 24 May 2017
Hotel Jagdschloss Niederwald, Rüdesheim, Germany
This symposium will bring together research scientists, data scientists, publishers, funders and other interested parties to review critically current publication practices in chemistry and related sciences.
[...]
POTENTIAL QUESTIONS PLANNED TO BE ADDRESSED
-
Which data do we want to save, how and why and how long?
-
What really needs to be reproducible?
-
Are current reporting standards being used sufficiently?
-
If not, why not?
-
Are the current procedures for depositing data too onerous for scientists?
-
Will technology, through increasing automation, fix most of the problems?
-
Is bureaucracy killing creativity in science?
-
Have we got a reproducibility crisis?
-
If we save and share data routinely, what is the future of the publication?
-
Are funding agencies causing science to be too short term in their quest for value for money?
-
Are chemists repeating too many experiments?
-
What can chemistry learn from other areas and what can they learn from chemistry?"
